TC Future Makers: AI in Youth Education

TC Future Makers: AI in Youth Education

From January 17 to 23, 2026, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the training course "FUTURE MAKERS: AI in Youth Education" in the beautiful Międzybrodzie region of the Polish Little Beskids. The program was organized by Klaster Innowacji Społecznych, and thanks to Youthfully Yours SK, we proudly represented Slovakia. This experience became much more than just an educational program – it was a meaningful journey into the future of technology and youth empowerment.

Today, artificial intelligence is everywhere. It shapes industries, transforms workplaces, and influences how we learn and create. However, this course helped me realize something deeper: AI is not just a tool, but a powerful force that can inspire young minds, unlock creativity, and open doors to new opportunities.

Throughout the week, I was completely immersed in an environment of creativity, collaboration, and hands-on learning. We explored how AI can support youth work, improve educational practices, and foster innovation. I gained not only technical knowledge about how AI works but also a clearer understanding of how it can empower young people to think critically, solve real-world problems, and actively shape the future they want to live in.

This training significantly enhanced my skills and increased my confidence in utilizing artificial intelligence more effectively in my professional and educational activities. I now feel better prepared to integrate these tools into my practice and inspire others to harness the possibilities of digital transformation.

I am truly grateful for this opportunity. My heartfelt thanks go to Klaster Innowacji Społecznych and Youthfully Yours SK, as well as everyone involved, for creating such a supportive, inspiring, and progressive learning environment. This experience will stay with me and continue to influence how I teach, learn, and support young people in the years to come.
